Pizza Power

OH MY GOD I FINALLY FINISHED IT!!

Thank you to everyone who was excited about the comic I’ve been working on for a week!

After drawing these three, I was heavily inspired to make something for them! I decided to make a comic! I made a lot of these back in the day but I’ve never really finished or posted them online! This was the first time I did them both. I might do more comics in the future but we’ll see. I only wanted to freshen up with something new.

To get ideas, I went back to the *hypothetical* Pizza Tower Show Document! I specifically referenced the finale episode (EP 400) where Pepperman, Vigilante, and Noise had to *work together.* Some dialogue were additionally added to advance the story! I also decided that the “renegade salami” would be the regular enemies you’ve encountered in game.

Thank you again for your patience and I hope you enjoy!

Pizzatober Day 31: Halloween Dance Party!

I can’t believe we made it! This has been a great journey. It’s been fun. Thank you everyone for the likes/comments/reblogs/follows across Tumblr and Twitter and for everything. Love you all! I got to follow and meet other artists!

I loved seeing everyone else’s interpretations for each of the prompts. This is the second Inktober I’ve ever done and I couldn’t be more happier. Thanks to Blackido for the template as always! It was a great way to get ideas because I wanted to draw more PT but I didn’t have ideas lul.

Hope all of you guys had a great Halloween! I’m gonna take a break from posting art for a week, I’ve been feeling tired from it but I had fun! It’s been a fun ride!

Previous | And that’s all of it! Restart?

Fakey’s Christmas Special

I can finally post this now! This was a thing I did for Pizza Tower’s Christmas collab made by Blackido! It was a pleasure drawing Fakey in his Christmas spirit! You can view the entire picture and the rest of the artists here: https://x.com/badblackido/status/1738961184529752325?s=46&t=xBGS9noaPUBCtiS6vEyvmQ

Or for those who don’t use Twitter, the picture for the collab is located down here! If you would like to see everyone else’s parts! I just hid it as a surprise!

It was nice to see everyone’s parts here! They all did an amazing job! Hope you guys have a happy holidays! ❤️🤍

Pizza Tower Anniversary

Wooo, I barely got this finished on time! Decided to draw the all of the *major* characters! Everyone’s here yippee!

I’ve been stuck here since March. I’m glad I got introduced to it since things were tough at that time. It filled me with so much joy and I got to hold it longer.

Thank you Pizza Tower for bringing me to these wonderful characters, gameplay, songs, returning my knack for art, and a community full of talented people! ❤️

Alternate Version: Same but Mr. Stick has white gloves and I used a rusted decay brush for texture!

[ashleander]

So how are we feeling about today..

I drew this quickly as a joke (which is why some parts look weird but who cares) but I still want to congratulate the devs for getting the nomination! This game still means a lot to me! So it won in my heart! ❤️

Game Awards is Game Awards….

Even if it didn’t win, there’s still a lot of people who appreciate and support the game!!

I would like to congratulate Cocoon for getting the award! Go support them and all the other games if you can!

You have the right to be upset (or laugh/be surprised) but please for the love of god, DO NOT harass and hatebomb Cocoon and their devs!! Seeing others in this fandom/community doing this kind of shit pisses me off and it’s frustrating to see it go down like this!

ART VS ARTIST 2023

Last post in 2023 for real this time! Also, I didn’t want to forget about this challenge. I’m still proud I was able to produce a lot of artwork this year even though I didn’t do any during the first half. Hopefully, I’ll try to post art at least once a month next year. Maybe I might mix it up with some traditional art.. maybe WIPs/unfinished pieces of my art or even animatic-ish stuff! Who knows? We’ll see…..

Thank you again for supporting me and I hope you guys have a great year!

PETER GRIFFIN MEME

This was based on this one reblog of my Pizzatober Day 15 post. I didn’t even notice the costumeless Noise at the back looked like that one Peter Griffin meme ALKSDHANAL 😭

I just had to draw it…

I wasn’t intentionally trying to reference that but now that someone pointed it out, I can see it!

Original Meme here: (sorry if it’s cropped, it was the like the best image I could get)

THANK YOU 2023!

Made to the end already! Probably the craziest and best years I’ve gotten yet! Lots of crazy experiences going on here and IRL! I accomplished a lot of things! I was finally in the mood to post more art after not doing it for so long! Thank you everyone who came out to support me and my art journey! Thank you Pizza Tower and its community/fandom for taking me out of art block & making my days better when I’m down whether it’s artwork, videos, or anything! I’m looking forward to draw more next year!

Cheers to 2024! ✨🍸

BLOG ANNIVERSARY (KIND OF....)

It’s been a year since I revived this little blog of mine with this silly piece on that day! I created this blog in 2019 but I barely used it and there used to be only CRK content 💀, it'd be 5 years old by now sheesh… This date means a lot to me! I used to post art while the account was on its first days! My passion stopped a few years ago due to mental health issues but I think it was for the best to wait until I had a maturity for it...that was until PT was a thing and I haven’t left haha… I was so scared posting my art back in the day since it’s been a while. Little did I know that this would be the start of a new journey! ♡

After seeing others notice my work, I became more active (esp. after October and onwards) and now I’m here! We’re only halfway through the first full year of constant art posts! This was one of best choices I ever made! Not only did it help me grow as an artist but as a person! ♡

The growth of this blog feels surreal to me! I never thought there’d be so many! The follower count here went from 15 to 250-ish as if now! Ya’ll are so sweet and talented, I swear! I feel so grateful meeting ya'll! I really should open myself more! 😭❤️ ♡

I’ve never thought I’d felt so seen and I'll always know someone is out there to support me and my work! Most importantly, it accomplished one of my biggest art goals: to connect but also to uplift other people! It’s so fun seeing how much my art has evolved! You can definitely see the improvement! There were some ups-and-downs but I learned overtime not to go hard on yourself and be proud of the things you make! Never have I ever had such a large creative outlet in such a long time! I feel so proud of my accomplishments and I haven’t felt this excited in years! (the reblogs/comments especially but anything really shaldldaskdl, I think my fam knows that I tend to get extremely loud when it happens, haha)! ♡

Thank you everyone for checking out this silly blog! I wouldn’t be here without ya! It reminded me of the things I loved doing and I’m glad I’m back to it! Here's more to come, I will keep doing my thing! ♡

Here’s a small drawing to celebrate! I’m already having a great time at vacation and I’ll be back soon! ♡

PIZZA TOWER SPOILERS AHEAD!

The following includes content from the Noise update! Do not click if you haven’t finished it yet! This sums up my experiences with it! So prepare to see me ramble how much I LOVE this update! Feel free to skip this post entirely if you’re here for my art!

~MY THOUGHTS ON THE NOISE UPDATE~

Hey, I’m back again! I just wanted to share my thoughts with the update! I will eventually try to make an art piece about it soon! There might be multiple! This update can’t leave my damn brain.

General Thoughts on the Noise:

We finally get to see the Noise as a playable character! This update made like the Noise even more! There’s too many screenshots to count. I think he’s now one of my favorites! I can totally see his personality and quirks throughout his sprites! God, he’s such a piece of shit and I love him for it! I love how he breaks a lot of the rules here (I’m not going to list it, you can see for yourself). I also think it was cool to see the entire game just being played as a movie but Noise is the “star” of the show (as shown in the ending screen). Also, you couldn’t tell how happy I was seeing Noisette having more of a role here! Grahhh I love her so much! Fuck I gotta draw these two together more! They’re way too cute! What a fun and silly update! I might draw them next!

Playing as the Noise:

Getting used to this guy’s moveset took me a while! He demands significantly more button inputs than everyone else. He can also feel quite fast and slippery! I definitely got bumped into a wall many times after he finishes his skateboarding bounce move (no not the one where you have to press the grab button) But I have to admit, once you get used to the little tricks he has then you should be fine! His transformations also play very differently so that’s also something to consider.

For my first play through, I decided to aim for all the secrets and treasures! I already know where everything is at this point since I practiced it multiple times! I managed to get three P ranks (John Gutter, Fun Farm, Gnome Forest). I wasn’t used to his moveset yet so a few levels in World 4/5 were only A ranks. I aimed for the secrets and Gerome but I didn’t take the second lap.

The bosses were also fun to try! Definitely easier to P rank than Peppino’s for sure! I just didn’t care much about the ranks the first time I played it. I gotta say the end part gave me chills! I don’t know it felt trippy for a moment!

I ended the first game with 93% damn Noise fuck you and then I replayed to get the 101%. Seeing Pillar John in a Noise costume was unexpected but funny!

After practicing his moveset (& attempting to get the Tower Guy clothes which I STILL haven’t because some levels are a pain in the ass), I was able to P rank the rest of the levels! I also got the funny Snick outfit. He turned out to be faster than I thought. I think he’s now my favorite character to play in Pizza Tower! Oh and there’s swap mode! Pretty neat feature! I don’t have much to say about it. Seeing Peppino’s house was cool though… I also had to tally Peppino because I didn’t feel like doing the chef tasks again.

But yeah pretty cool update. The devs cooked on this one and the music’s great! Can’t wait to see where it’s going to head next!

[ashleander]

I'm very curious, I've been noticing a light spot you draw on Vigi's back, what it supposed to be?

I never get asks on this blog so this surprised me lmao.

To answer that question, those light spots are meant to resemble calcium lactate, a type of cheese crystal which are found on the surfaces of hard cheese! I just think the characteristics especially the "aging" part suits him so I think of him as hard cheese!

It's ultimately more of a stylistic choice while drawing him. I wanted to differentiate him a little more from the other cheeseslimes!

[ashleander]

I’m currently on vacation! It just started (well technically yesterday) so expect art posting to be minimal for now! Might be inactive at some points! I’ll be back next week! 🩷❤️

See you at ArtFight!

[ashleander]

Reupload but this time with the sheet!

Finally got the entire sheet done! See you later at ArtFight next month!

[ashleander]

Just created a brush for one of my last projects for my college class! I swear woodworking is fun! (if you know how to measure and be patient haha)

Might be a new art hobby I’ll do for fun! I found another form of art that I enjoy!

I’ll be back to my regularly scheduled art posts once my exams are done next week! College has been keeping me busy! I just wanted to display it because it came out good! I’ve been at an energetic mood lately :)

[ashleander]

Not art related but I finally achieved 101% (also finished the pumpkin event and P ranked the funny secret gauntlet level) in Pizza Tower. Ahhh I’m so proud of myself! This game was so fun to play! I had a fun time P ranking all of the levels/bosses (Fridge was the hardest and Pizzaface can go “P” himself) and doing the chef tasks! I’m looking forward playing as Noise and other events in the future! I’ll eventually post a celebratory art piece of Pizzahead later for his prompt lol.
